    Do not trust anything the New York Times writes about trans people. Please go verify everything from other sources.

        They have a journalistic responsibility to include relevant information and seek comment from relevant groups. The article doesn't include any comment from healthcare professionals or advocacy groups, nor does it contain any information about potential consequences of the surgeries being banned. It fails to actually inform the public on the issue at hand, and the auxiliary information that is brought up just puts the medical procedure into question by positing it as controversial (yeah, controversial because of transphobes) and questionable. Presenting only a limited section of the issue, but making it seem like it encompasses its entirety, makes this article functionally the same as transphobic propaganda.
